Harvey & Margie

Harvey’s hard of hearing

Hairless and heavyset

But when he married Margie

He wasn’t like that yet

Harmless and half handsome

Wearing his half smile

He said whatever he had

To get her down the aisle

Margie’s worn her footprints in the floorboards

In the kitchen she relives it every night

Harvey he’s still staring at the scoreboard

Wondering how he got so far behind

Margie made her money making mountains from molehills

Harvey’s way of doing things had it’s way with all the bills

They say “keep your head down, and the good will come to you”

But it’s hard to keep your head up when the bad news follows you

Margie’s worn her footprints in the floorboards

In the kitchen she relives it every night

But Harvey he’s still staring at the scoreboard

Wondering how he got so far behind

One day Harvey had enough, and took care of it himself

It’s harder to be happy in a home built for someone else

Margie made the most of the gift he gave that day

Put a little life into the love they tried to make

Now there’s tiny footprints in the floorboards

And laughter in the kitchen every night

Harvey he’s still staring at the scoreboard

Wondering how he got so far behind

Wondering how he got so far behind
